In this episode, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora and I...

  • discuss Dr. Vora's holistic approach to psychiatry
  • discuss anxiety as a symptom, not a diagnosis
  • discuss the necessity of switching echo chambers, especially if the echo chamber you find yourself in is disempowering and keeping you stuck believing that anxiety is a mental illness diagnosis
  • talk about transforming our understanding of anxiety
  • discuss the difference between "false anxiety" and "true anxiety"
  • ask "what is my anxiety trying to tell me?" instead of "how do I get rid of anxiety?"
  • share practical ways to discharge anxiety energy from the body and talk about crying as a free, but underrated way to regulate and discharge anxious energy
  • talk about the relationship between psychedelics and anxiety and the scientific hesitation to have the conversation
  • discuss people who are naturals at life and highly sensitive people who feel like life doesn't come naturally
